Netters Tie For
Third In First.
Round Of Meet
Flick And Sherwood Score
Victories In Singles As
Team Also Wins Doubles
CHICAGO, May 21. - (P)-- By
scoring two victories in both the
singles and doubles matches, Michi-
gan 's Varsity net team tied Wiscon-
sin for third place in the first round
of the Western Conference tennis
meet with a total of four points.
Jesse Flick and Miller Sherwood
figured in both victories to lead the
Michigan team. Flick defeated Joe
Kovac, of Wisconsin, 1-6, 6-1, 6-4 in
the singles ,and paired with John
Rodriguez to defeat Richardson and
Kovac, of Wisconsin, 6-4, 6-2 in the
doubles.
Sherwood Wins Singles
Sherwood was the only other Mich-
igan man to win in the singles. Sher-
wood turned back Charley Huntley, of
Minnesota, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. He also
teamed with Howard Kahn to defeat
Wilcox and Brain, of Minnesota, 6-4,
6-4, in the doubles.
The University of Chicago tennis
team, defending titlists, alone re-
mained unbeaten as the first round of
the Western Conference net tourna-
ment closed on the Midway courts to-
day. The tournament ends tomorrow.
Robert Niehouson of Ohio State,
given little consideration as a possible
singles championship winner, sup-
plied the fireworks which jolted
Northwestern's hopes of pressing the
Maroons for the team title. Niehousen,
playing heady tennis from the start,
came from behind to eliminate Rus-
sell Ball, Northwestern star, 2-6, 6-4,
6-3.
Bickel Advances
Ball had been a heavy favorite to
meet Norman Gickel of Chicago in
the finals of the championship brack-
et. Bickel advanced to the second
round by a 6-1, 7-5 victory over Joe
Moll, Illinois captain.
In doubles competition, the Ma-
roor's showed as much strength as
in the singles class where they picked
up a point in each of the four brack-
ets. Norbert Burgess and Bickel de-
feated Moll and Bruce Hicks, 6-3,
6-1, in a first bracket match, while
in a second bracket tilt, Herbert
Mertz and John Shostrom, Chicago,
defeated Richard Lewers and Wil-
liam Rich, Illinois, 6-2, 6-4.
The point standings:
Chicago 6
Northwestern 5
Wisconsin 4
Michigan 4
Illinois 2
Iowa 2
Ohio State 1
Minnesota 0.
Nine Will Meet
Wildcats Today
On Road Trip
Seek Eighth Conferencej
Victory; Herm Fishman'
Faces Wildcats
EVANSTON, May 21. -The Uni-
versity of Michigan baseball team
moved in here today seeking their
eighth Conference win over North-
western's weak-hitting nine.
H'erm Fishman, Wolverine left-
hander, will be one starting pitcher
while Floyd Stromme will probably
be on the mound for the Wildcats.t
Coach Burt Ingwersen is pinning his
hopes for a victory on Shortstop Mer-
rill, who has been absent from thel
lineup for the last four Conference
titls suffering from a sprained ankle.
Wildcats Lose Nine
Inability to hit and an erratic de-l
fense have been chiefly responsible
for the Wildcats record of nine Big
Ten defeats and with no marks on
the credit side of the column.
Coach Ray Fisher, although appre-
ciating the Northwestern spirit, as ex-
emplified by Coach Ingwersen's "We
haven't given up yet," is pointing his
squad for the Wisconsin tilt on Satur-
day. Captain Berger Larson will
pitch and will be opposed by either
"Deacon" Pearson or Gordy O'Brien,
who lost a close 3 to 2 decision in
an earlier appearance against the
Wolverines in Ann Arbor.
Seek Two Wins
With seven Big Ten wins to date,
the Michigan nine hopes to clinch its
first place position by wins over both
Northwestern and Wisconsin while
Iowa and Minnesota are battling it
out in three games this week-end at
Iowa City. Iliinois, the only other
team in the running, finished its sea-
son with a win over Chicago yester-
day to achieve a record of ten games
won and two lost. The Hawkeyes
and the Gophers have each lost only
one game, as has Michigan.
The Wildcat nine was decisively
beaten in two encounters with Minne-
sota last week-end by scores of 6 to
0 and 12 to 5.

PRESS '
ANGLE
By GEORGE J. ANDROS o
Phil Diamond. ..
IT IS a sport columnists privilege -
or fate --to predict the outcome
of all kinds of athletic events. But
when it comes to calling the turn in
the Big Ten track meet we gladly -
and relievedly - take a back seat to
Phil Diamond. of the German depart-
ment, whose annual dope sheet is so
accurate it is respected as authority
all over the middle-west.
This year Diamond is sticking his
neck out to the extent of picking
Michigan to win by four points, and
admits freely that he has never been
less certain in his experience. Indiana,
Ohio and Wisconsin are all capable of
upsetting the dope very easily.
Diamond gives the Wolverines the
edge on team strength, handing them
45 points and only three first places.
Ohio is second with 41 points, followed
by Indiana with 34 and Wisconsin
with 31. Illinois has 25, Iowa 17,
Northwestern and Chicago 11 each,
Minnesota 8 and Purdue only a ques-
tion mark.
The predictions by events follow:
Mile Run: Don Lash, Indiana's
defending champion, well ahead
of Ohio's George O'Brien. Clayt
Bresford of Michigan third, fol-
lowed by Tom Deckard of Indiana
and Chuck Fenske of Wisconsin.
Ray Fink of Michigan and In-
diana's Jim Smith are dark
horses.
100-yard dash: Jesse Owens of Ohio
a step in front of Michigan's Sam
Stoller. Grieve of Illinois, Collier of
Indiana and Dooley of Iowa in that
order behind the leaders. Janicki of
Wisconsin an outsider.
440-yard run: Ray Ellinwood, sen-
sational Chicago sophomore, to nose
out Michigan's Stan Birleson. Harvey
Patton of Michigan ust ahead of
Northwestern's . Winslow Heg and
Gene Skinner of Iowa fifth. Ohio's
Beethem an outsider if he doubles,
with defending champion Carol
Crowell of Wisconsin out of it.
120-yard high hurdles: Bob
Osgood of Michigan a stride bet-
ter than Indiana's Dan Calde-
meyer. Wright of Illinois, Cretz-
mayer of Iowa and Robinson of
Illinois in that order.
Two-mile run: Lash and Deckard of
Indiana first and second, but their
teammate Smith behind Walt Stone
and Bill Staehle of Michigan.
880-yard run: Charlie Beethem of
Ohio State an easy winner for the
second year. Bernard Gill of Indiana
and Jack Fleming of Northwestern
following, with Ben Starr of Michi-
gan and Duke Hobbs of Indiana fight-
ing it out for fourth and fifth. Capt.
Frank Aikens and Howie Davidson of
Michigan, Glenndenning of Purdue
and O'Brien of Ohio if he runs are
the dark horses.
220-yard dash: The same field as
in the 100 in the same order, except
for Stoller, whose place behind Owens
will be taken by Ellinwood if he runs.
220-yard low hurdles: Owens
again, trailed by Wright a'nd
Brunton of Illinois, and then
Cretzmayer and Osgood.
One-mile relay: Michigan the
winner, and Northwestern, Wis-
consin, Indiana and Chicago bat-
tling for the remaining places.
Shot put: Rubow of Wisconsin a
little bit ahead of the field. Not much
to choose among Freimuth (Minn.),
Jake Townsend (Mich.), Krezowski
(Minn.), and DeHeer (Iowa). Dark
horses here are Christensen of Wis-
consin and Indiana's Schneidermann.
Discuss: Defending champion Skip
Etchells of Michigan in a class by
himself. Rubow, Freimuth and Mich-
igan's Mike Savage in the money,

Playing before a gallery of over
2,000 persons, Lawson Little ana
Jimmy Thompson yesterdaytdefeated
Chuck Kocsis, captain of the Michi-
gan team, and Horton Smith three
and one in a best ball match in some
of the most brilliant golf ever playe&
on the University Course.
Thompson, Chicago pro living up
to his play here last year, carded five
birdies to tie for medal honors with
Kocsis, who had four birdies to his
! credit. Both men had a 71, one un-
der perfect figures, while Smith and
Little posted cards of 73.
Crucial Shot
The match was decided on the sev-
enteenth green when Kocsis had a
15 foot putt to make for a birdie
three. His partner had holed out in
five and Little and Thompson took
par fours. The Michigan captain's
putt was missed only by two inches as
the ball rolled beyond the cup about
five feet, and he was forced to take
a five before he finished.
Missing two eagles on heartbreak-
ingly long putts that rimmed the cup,
once on the par four thirteenth hole
and again on the par five eighteenth,
Thompson was easily the outstanding
player of the day. His chance for an
eagle on the thirteenth was made pos-
t sible by a 325-yard drive to the green,
the longest of the day.
Barely missing a 20-foot putt on the
1 ninth, Kicsis lost a chance to make a
birdie and even up the match at the
end of the first nine holes after he
had made two brilliant three's on
the sixth and seventh holes and a par
three on the eighth to pick up two
holes on the opposition.

Wilbur Shaw (left) of Indianapolis and Phil "Red" Shafer (right)
are among the famous drivers of the nation entered in the annual 500-
mile auto race to be run Decoration Day at Indianapolis. Forty-five
drivers from all over the country have entered the $110,000 race, but
time trials, which have already begun, will cut the entries to about 33.
Shaw has already qualified and is expected to be among the heavy
favorites to win the classic. Old records are expected to be imperiled
this year due to track improvements that have recently been made and
which will undoubtedly aid the drivers.

Alpha Kappa Lambda captured the
speedball championship for four con-
secutive years ('29, '30, '31 and '32)
winning 32 straight games before
meeting defeat in the first league
game of the 1933-34 season at the
hands of Delta Kappa Epsilon.
All of the winners of the indoor
tennis championships since 1928 have
gole on to win a position on the
Varsity net team and four have be-

Beta Delta's water polo team despite
the fact that he could not swim.
Three teams have won the water
polo crown since competition began
12 years ago. Theta Chi took six, Psi
Upsilon three, and Sigma Alpha Mu
two.

Up to May of '33 a no-hit softball
game had not been pitched in five
years. During the week of May 15
two such performances were turned
in, one by Zit Tessmer of Sigma Nu
and another by Fred Prieskorn of the
Bluebirds.
In the Phi Kappa-Phi Epsilon Pi
softball game in '35, Phi Kappa set a.
new record for runs scored in one-hall
inning when it put across 17 tallies ir
the first half of the third. The Phi
Eps came back with 11 in the last
half of the same stanza for a total of
28 runs
Butler Pitches
No-hit Game-;
N ift Phys._Ms. Win
With only one man reaching first
base, and that one by virtue of an
infield error, the Physical Eds., be-
hind the no-hit pitching of Dwight
Butler, defeated the Wolverines by a
5-0 score yesterday, and thus entered
the finals of the independent-'division
of the intramural baseball tourney.
Of the nineteen men who faced
Butler in the six innings, fifteen went
down by the strikeout route, four
popped up to the infield, and one
man reached first when the second
baseman muffed a grounder.
The Wolverines had only one bad
inning, but that was bad enough to
force them to come out on the small
end of the score. Three hits ,three
errors, and a fielder's choice gave
the winners their five runs in the
fourth inning. Marv Arent, the losing
pitcher, gave up one other hit, that
in the sixth, walked one man, and
struck out nine, seven of them in a
row.

Little, getting off to a bad start
when he drove his second shot out o1
bounds and took a three-putt green
for a seven on the first hole, displayed
real accuracy when he missed a hole-
in-one on the 175-yard fourteenth
hole by three inchts. The tee shot
arced perfectly in the air and dropped
directly in front of the cup, bounding
about seven feet beyond. He wasn't
on the fairway until the fourth hole
but secured a birdie four on the third
and a par five on the second.
Horton Smith, showing his usual
well-balanced game, also joined the
rest of the players in missing his share
of long putts that looked sure to be
sunk.
